What to expect from Montezooma coaster renovation at Knott’s Berry Farm

An extensive renovation of Montezooma’s Revenge at Knott’s Berry Farm will introduce a backstory about doomed treasure hunters along with Aztec-themed trains, randomized launch sequences and new rider restraints when the historic roller coaster returns next year.

The reimagined Montezooma: The Forbidden Fortress launch roller coaster will debut in 2023 at the Buena Park theme park.

Netherlands-based ride renovator Kumbak is working on the Montezooma renovation, according to Knott’s officials. Kumbak has previously teamed with European theme parks Efteling, Walibi and Bakken.

Knott's News: It really is a beautiful painting. Too bad it doesn't accurately reflect Kinzel-era Cedar Fair landscaping at all - by that I mean just concrete. The final product is a nice ride horribly placed in the park, destroying the atmosphere of multiple areas. Even the Fiesta Village reimagining doesn't want those ugly pillars in its concept art.

Knott's Berry Farm Unveils Big Changes to Fiesta Village, More

Knowing the most notable and nostalgic nooks, crannies, attractions, hangouts, shops, and eateries of the boysenberry-iest place in all of Buena Park?

Tapping into your Knott's knowledge is a cinch, especially if you've been going for decades, starting when you were a Snoopy-obsessed, pie-seeking, flume-fancying kid.

All of those popular elements are remaining in place at the theme park, but there are some renovations, reimaginings, and rethinks headed to the famous destination, which is synonymous with colossal coasters, berry-packed desserts, and Knott's Scary Farm, the fall fright fest.

The Knott's Berry Farm team unveiled the changes fans can expect in 2023 on Aug. 11, 2022, as well as a few renderings and tantalizing details.

Cedar Fair LP (FUN) CEO Richard Zimmerman on Q2 2022 Results - Earnings Call Transcript

Richard Zimmerman

Thank you, Michael, and good morning, everyone. Let me start today's call by saying I am extremely proud of our team and all that we've accomplished so far this season.

Our team's commitment to delighting guests and operating the best parks in the industry has allowed us to achieve record performance coming out of the pandemic. Based on our results over the first half of the year and the strength of long lead indicators, I've never had more confidence in our business than I do right now. And I'm excited to see how much fun we can create for our guests and our associates over the balance of the season and into next year.

Knott's News: Business is good (beating out 2019 records), paid off 75% of pandemic era debt when parks were closed, should achieve net leverage of less than 4x adjusted EBITDA by year-end (referring to overall debt), labor and operating costs are way up (as expected, we all feel it), season pass sales are way up (surpassing 3 mil units for the first time in company history), they expect an increase in local business due to inflationary stay-cation planning, plans on spending $200mil on CapEx in 2023 (up from $160-175mil this year). Overall, they missed their target but still performed well.

Next Thursday Cedar Fair will be unveiling their 2023 plans. Hopefully we get a first look at the Fiesta Village / Zoom transformation!
